Hi, Liva. Welcome to English Forums. Thanks for joining us! [<:o)]

A cookout is first of all an occasion. It often has the flavor of a party.

It's usually outdoors - in the back yard, on the patio, at the park, at a campsite, etc.

Meat is typically barbecued over wood coals or on a portable gas grill.

I'm having a cookout at my house this weekend. You're invited. Bring the beer.

Do we have enough steaks for the cookout tomorrow?

Best wishes, - A.
